Player-Friendly Events

Also, be sure to choose a concert where the majority of attendees will be female — perhaps one of those folk/pop/rock singers who always performed at Lilith Fair. Much like the first tip, you’re identifying with the girl’s interests simply by being there, so you have an automatic foot in the door. The only possible roadblock is the simple fact that women rarely go to concerts alone, so you may be facing a wall of protective girlfriends.

Then again, with the rousing, lively environment, working your way over that hurdle isn’t nearly as difficult as you think. Alcohol plus music equals a very receptive group of girls. If there’s one event that presents the perfect opportunity for a one-night stand, it’s a live concert.

Holiday parties

Parties are a dime a dozen, but holiday parties are very different. Maybe it’s a costume party for Halloween, a July 4th picnic, or a Christmas party at an extravagant hotel. Whatever the gathering, everyone always looks — and sometimes acts — their best at holiday get-togethers. The women adore these events; they’re not your typical sleazy after-midnight party, they generally include a higher class of people, and the ladies get to show off. Chances are, you’ve been invited to any number of these parties in the past, but declined the invitation thinking you had better things to do. Perhaps you thought the bar was a better spot for flirting, but you couldn’t be more wrong: The holiday party is the place to be. If you’re in the city, you’ll likely find professional women on Christmas vacation looking as gorgeous as they can manage. Halloween costume parties are mysterious and seductive, and picnics are excuses to drink and get a tan, so how can you dismiss these events?

The only difference here is that the event itself doesn’t provide an immediate opening, as it does with previous examples. But these parties are still great alternatives, especially when all the faces in your traditional haunts start looking too familiar. Shake things up, find a classy party, and the luscious possibilities can really pile up.

If you want to be an all-around Player, you have to learn how to adapt and assimilate. You also have to avoid falling into a rut; the nightclubs may remain your natural forte, but spending your life there isn’t advisable. When you’re trying to get better at a particular skill — any skill — you must branch out and attempt success in new venues and environments. Otherwise, you’re nothing more than a one-hit wonder; sure, you can dominate the local bar, but what kind of Player are you if you can’t hold your own at the Christmas party? Or down at the park or beach? In the end, it’s essential to expand your repertoire to a variety of social interactions, creating a resume that extends beyond the same ol’ same ol’. See, now that’s impressive.
